A Diagram to Explain the Various Magic the Gathering Formats
26 March 2024
I was struggling to explain the various formats of magic the gathering to my
friend, so I made this diagram using d2lang, a nifty diagram creation
language. There’s about 5 commonly played formats on paper and then there’s the
digital formats. Each format has different card pools and its own banlist to
enhance the health of the meta. Each format may also have different set
construction rules, but the only special one is commander.
